Erceg (2-3) took the loss against the Angels on Sunday, allowing four earned runs on two hits, a walk, a hit batsman and a wild pitch without retiring a batter.

Erceg was handed a 5-2 lead when he entered in the eighth inning, but the reliever allowed all four batters he faced to reach base before Scott Alexander subsequently allowed all the runners he inherited from Erceg to score. The normally reliable right-hander saw a nine-appearance scoreless streak (8.2 innings) snapped by the disastrous appearance, while his ERA shot up from 2.94 to 4.01.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Burdi (hip) could be ready for a rehab assignment by the end of next week, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Burdi had a minor setback just before the All-Star break, but he's back on track and is slated to throw another live batting practice session soon. The right-hander's been on the shelf since late May with right hip inflammation but is tracking toward a return from the 60-day injured list in early August.

Munoz earned a save Sunday against the Astros after striking out the side in the ninth inning.

The right-hander set down Jake Meyers, Trey Cabbage and Joey Loperfido on strikes to end the ballgame and bring the Mariners back to level with the Astros in the standings. Munoz has struck out six over his last 3.1 innings and is working on a 7.1-inning scoreless streak. The 25-year-old is up to 16 saves on the season and has been one of the more dominant closers in the game with a 1.37 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 49:18 K:BB in 39.1 innings.

Yates struck out two batters in a perfect ninth inning and earned a save over Baltimore on Sunday.

Yates made quick work of the Orioles with just 13 pitches to finish off the 3-2 win. He's now converted each of his 17 save chances on the year and lowered his ERA to an incredible 1.02 through 35.1 frames. Yates has given up one earned run while posting a 19:5 K:BB over his last 12 innings.

Slaten (elbow) played catch Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Slaten came out of the session feeling good and will continue to throw from flat ground for now. The Red Sox hope he won't require an extensive ramp-up period after that. The right-hander has been a key bullpen piece for Boston this season, and the team could have used him after being swept by the Dodgers over the weekend.

Sborz allowed one hit and struck out three over two scoreless innings in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Orioles.

Sborz made his fourth appearance since coming back from a shoulder injury. He hasn't issued a walk in six innings since coming off the IL and has hurled five consecutive scoreless frames. When healthy, Sborz is used as a high-leverage arm in the bullpen. He has a 2.38 ERA with 11 strikeouts and three walks over 11.1 innings this season.

Estevez picked up his 18th save of the season in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Athletics, tossing a scoreless ninth inning while allowing a walk.

Estevez made things interesting by issuing a leadoff walk to Lawrence Butler but went on to retire the next three batters in order to shut the door. He's now converted each of his last 12 saves and hasn't given up an earned run since May 20, a span of 18 appearances. Estevez's name has been swirling in trade talks, and if he is dealt at the deadline there's no guarantee he'd still be the closer for his new team. The 31-year-old owns a 2.53 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB in 32 innings.

Fulmer allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings Sunday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.

Fulmer was clean through two innings, but the Athletics would put up two runs against him in the third on a pair of doubles. He later allowed a solo home run to Miguel Andujar in the fifth, the last batter he would face on the afternoon. Fulmer wasn't nearly as effective as he'd been in his last start, but he managed to reach 77 pitches once again while registering eight swings and misses. The Angels haven't revealed a long-term plan for the veteran right-hander yet, but it's likely he sticks in the rotation for at least another turn, which is expected to come against the Athletics again. Fulmer now sports a 3.66 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 52:25 K:BB in 51.2 innings.

Green picked up a save Sunday against Detroit, throwing 1.2 perfect innings with no strikeouts.

Even with Yimi Garcia off the injured list, it was Green who received the first save opportunity coming out of the All-Star break. Sunday's result is a positive sign for fantasy managers who banked on Green to retain closing duties after being thrust into the role due to injuries. However, Sunday's save doesn't indicate that Green will be the Blue Jays' primary ninth-inning option moving forward. Garcia pitched the ninth inning of Saturday's loss, and it's possible that the team didn't want to pitch Garcia in back-to-back games because of his recent injury. Additionally, Toronto could opt to split save opportunities until one of the two emerges as the clear option. Overall, managers should have cautious optimism about Green's closing chances.

Fairbanks picked up the save Sunday, allowing one run on one hit and one walk over one inning against the Yankees. He struck out one.

Fairbanks entered the ninth with a three-run lead, but a walk and a Juan Soto RBI double led to Aaron Judge coming to the plate as the tying run. Fairbanks then induced Judge to fly out and struck out Austin Wells to end the threat, closing out his 18th game of the season. It was the third time in his last five appearances Fairbanks has allowed an earned run, though he's earned a save in each of those five outings.
